Black Beauty: A Single-Tone Stone Island Masterpiece for 20 Years of Retail Genius
Dover Street Market's Stone Island collaboration is more than a limited-edition jacket, it’s a celebration of 20 years of pioneering retail.
Dover Street Market, the multi-brand retailer masterminded by COMME des GARÇONS founder Rei Kawakubo, is hitting its 20th anniversary this year and celebrating by doing what it does best: curating products and producing limited edition drops. One of which involves Stone Island.
The Italian outerwear specialists have created a black limited-edition jacket for the occasion. Or maybe it has made two jackets? The details are a little fuzzy at the moment.
First confirmed by a teaser photo released on Instagram by Dover Street Market on November 26, there is a glossy black piece of outerwear — potentially a new take on its Gilet Musk jacket — releasing as part of Dover Street Market’s 20th anniversary festivities.
A picture of an interesting hood detail, where a piece of string snakes down the back of the wearer's head, was also shared, along with close-ups of some techy fabrics.
So far, DSM has been very cryptic about what it has in the pipeline with Stone Island; but what’s important is that it has something in the pipeline with Stone Island. And if past releases are anything to go by, they won’t disappoint.
Following up Nike’s glowing Vomero sneaker, also made for DSM’s big birthday, this Stone Island collection is “coming soon” according to the retailer.
This surely isn’t the only limited-edition release that’s coming soon to celebrate 20 years of DSM, though. Expect plenty more more exclusive, likely black-colored products to shortly arrive on DSM's physical and digital shelves.
